  1. PREPARATION OF BIOTIN-GLUTATHIONE COATED QUANTUM DOTS Libor Janů Supervisor: doc. Ing. René Kizek, PhD. Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of agronomy, Mendel University

  2. Introduction • Semiconductor nanocrystals (2-10 nm) • Fluorescent labeles in a variety of biological investigations (biological active compounds, Hg2+,…) • Better spectroscopic properties and longer lifetime in comparison to classical molecular dyes

  3. Introduction • Solution phase synthesis of quantum dots • Usually CdTe or CdSe QD • Low quantum yield and toxic properties of naked QD • Modifications: TOPO (trioctylphosphine oxide) coating – biocompatible, better spectroscopic properties but hydrophobic • Solubility improving: ligand exchange (mercaptoacetic acid or DHLA), silanization, amphiphilic copolymers, … • Long reaction times, multistep process, high temperatures, inert atmosphere.

  4. Introduction Fig.1: Quantum dots modifications.

  5. Material and methods The aim of the work: • Biotinylated quantum dots • Glutathione as the coating agent providing solubility in water • One step synthesis in water Synthesis of biotin-glutathione • Solid phase peptide synthesis on Pioneer Peptide Synthesiser • Biotin-glutathione was synthesized using peptide bonding ofthe biotin carboxy group and amino group of the gamma-glutamic acid GSH QD Biotin + avidin-biomolecule

  6. Material and methods Synthesis of biotin-glutathione quantum dots • Reaction CdCl2 + Na2TeO3 in the presence of the biotin-glutathione • Mercapto group of glutathione thiolates the quantum dot surface • Carboxilic acid provides solubility in water • Na2TeO3 is air stable avoiding the need of inert atmosphere during synthesis • Reaction conditions: 95°C, synthesis time 2,5 hour Reaction: 4TeO32- +3BH4- → 4Te2- +3BO2- +6H2O CdCl2 + Te2- + MPA → Cd- (MPA)xTey+2Cl- Cd- MPAxTey → CdTe Junling Duan et.al.: One-Pot Synthesis of Highly Luminescent CdTe Quantum Dots by Microwave Irradiation Reduction and Their Hg2+-Sensitive Properties.

  11. Conclusion • Biotinylated quantum dots as a probe with specific afinity to avidin and streptavidin • No need the multistep and time consuming synthesis in organic solvents. • Next synthesis efficiencyenhancement possibilities: microvawe synthesis – homogenous heating of the sample,smaller surface defects, shorter reaction times.
